Locating the main water shut-off valve and knowing how to safely turn it off is crucial in preventing extensive water damage plumbing emergencies like burst pipes or major leaks. Clint recommends the following based on his 30 years of experience, to quickly locate and turn off the water main:

Locating the Main Water Shut-Off Valve

Check the basement or crawl space: This is the most common location, usually near the front wall where the main water line enters the home.

Look near water-fed appliances: For slab homes without basements, check near the water heater, under sinks, or in the garage.

Check outside: If not found inside, look for a concrete box/pit near the street with a removable lid labeled "water meter". The shut-off valve will be inside this box.

Consult property inspection report: If still not found, refer to the plumbing section of your home inspection report for its location.

Turning Off the Main Valve

For gate/wheel valves (common indoors): Turn the valve clockwise all the way until it stops to shut off water.

For ball valves: Turn the lever a quarter-turn perpendicular to the pipe to shut off.

For outdoor boxes: Use a meter key or wrench to turn the valve clockwise until tight. Never touch the city-side valve.

Open faucets after shutting off: Once the main is off, open cold and hot faucets to release remaining pressure in the pipes.
